Unrequited Love #29 (who's keeping count?)

(Image source: shopbop)

Just when I think I've fallen in love with enough accessories for the year (and it's only February).. along comes.. well THIS.

Everything I ever wanted, for a void I didn't know existed.  Really.

Ticks all the right boxes, such as:

3.1 Phillip Lim. Always good.

Beautiful on the inside. Just like people should be. 

Big enough so I can pretend I need it for work (for all those documents I'll be lugging around). Right.

Yellow. YES!!!  

Should I? Could I?? May I???

Get it if you want it at 3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Hour Bag | SHOPBOP

I won't come between you... I just want it to be happy.

"could you, you know, put like, a positive spin on it?"

(top & bottom two, all Anya Hindmarch clutches)

Why is it, that it always falls on the heels of someone having given a really really really truly awful 'spin' of things?  Why?!

And so, when I hear that line... I feel as if I have aged 20 years into this grouchy old man (not even one of those happy old fishermen wearing a beret in some provincial town, but one of those REALLY cranky Jack-Nicholson-in-a-bad-but-Oscar-winning-performance-mood-type of characters, except I wouldn't get an Oscar for my performance).

Ok, so maybe it isn't always much of a stretch for me, when it comes to turning into that person, but we're getting into an ugly and off topic area.

Anywhozzle-bees, what's the best way to smile again after landing in the pits?

Easy fix.  Glitter.  Job done!  Especially if it's glitter in the form of a clutch.  That comes off EVERYWHERE.
In your eyebrows (I don't know why I don't know how)
In your nails (less surprising)
In your teeth (true story, but at least it wasn't broccoli)
and all over my dress.

I've never seen a frowning crank holding a glitter covered clutch.  Apart from myself anyway.  And the sun was probably in my eyes because it bounced off all that glitter that time.

p.s. can you tell which is mine?  It's hard to miss.. what do you reckon?  too much hot pink?  I only used it the one time, and am still shaking the glitter out of my hair.  But I adore it, and no... that one is not an Anya Hindmarch.

Meanwhile how much do you love that blush coloured clutch?!

Important Tools for Work

Important, actually make that CRUCIAL. 

Coffee and shopping deliveries. 

Ready to work. 

LAWYERED! or if this were twitter #lawyered!

p.s. how great is the colour mint?  and what better than a mint lace loose fit blazer to trot around work in? 

Sanity Check

I love the Fug polls!

At my work, and maybe it's a lawyer thing, I don't know.. the older lawyers are forever talking about 'sanity checks'.  I resent that it implies that if something is factually inaccurate it suggests that the writer is therefore CERTIFIABLE.  Maybe I am taking things too literally and too personally. 

Maybe. 

But can't people just say 'hey, let's double check this' or 'spell check this' or something.  As if lunacy is needs a check anyway.  Crazy is as crazy does, if I'm crazy you'll JUST KNOW.  You won't be checking. 

If in ten years time I am one of those old drones saying 'can you get so and so to SANITY CHECK this' I apologise in advance.  They got me.  

Until then, I'm pretty pleased to say that my vote went the same way that everyone else who cares about what Rachel Taylor did to her hair and her dress voted.  That's 45%.  I love having votes in common with people.  About important things you know.  Like strange black dresses with odd see through panels and wet looking hair that you JUST KNOW took ages to make it look freshly watered but not dripping sodding wet.  I do like her hair like that, but probably not something I'd get away with.  I don't have people who would appreciate the kind of effort that kind of thing takes. 

I should never have champagne on a Sunday night left to my own devices whilst on #GoFugYourself.

Printopia

This just showed up in my stash of new goodies! How adorable! It combines all my favourite features like man-style shirt, kooky prints and pastel hues. So brilliant for a Friday at the office in the summertime followed by evening Gin&CucumberTonics at an outdoor bar in Sydney.
Am still in two minds about what to wear this Friday for the not one but two 30th birthday parties. It's either my eccentric take on Diane Keaton's look or something chic and simple but in a killer colour like fire engine red.
May end up leaving it up to Sydney's weather as the decider.
Hope everyone is having a great week at work!
Kisses! x
